Motherboard not recognizing RAM

posted by cutitdown528 on Nov 27, 2007

I have a Mach Speed MS945G-GLV motherboard, and 4 sticks of 1G DDR2 RAM. Putting all 4 sticks in, the BIOS setup displays only 3Gigs of Ram (Windows XP displays the same). I tested the 4 sticks and the 4 ports, by putting 2 in at a time, and none of the sticks or any of the ports are mailfunctioning.

on startup, it shows 31XXXXXX (I dont exactly know how many X's there are, but the My Computer properties show 2.9.

I know the bios wont show exactly 4 Gigs, but I was hoping for 3.8 at least at startup.

If you're running XP SP2, that may be by design because of something Microsoft did in SP2.
Look at the following article for an explanation.

Is it exactly 3gig of ram?
You may have 4 sticks in but your onboard peripherals share the memory.
as such my 512mg stick is in but it shows me only 482mg.
Take into account your onboards.
Hope this Helps
